Hey Russ, would you call this CAM or DCAM?

I saw in another thread your fondness for 1970S JFK. Found this at a local shop last Saturday in the proof sets.

Russ

It's always extremely difficult to judge these by a scan, but assuming this is an accurate representation of the coin, it would be a CAM in the current grading environment at PCGS. The reverse devices and lettering are a little weak for the DCAM designation.

Nice coin, though.

So what do the rest of the coins look like?

The dime has really heavy frosting but the rest are standard brilliant. I was happy to find this for $15

Yeah, i thought the reverse was a bit weaker than the obv. The obv is so nicely frosted, though. Just not common for me to see cameos from the early JFKs not broken out already.

The way they're grading Kennedys right now that'll come back PR66 - no CAM/DCAM. They can't tell the difference between a cameo coin and a rock!!!!!

C'mon Tim, don't hold back... tell us how you feel!

Obverse is beautiful... IMHO - if the reverse matched, you'd have a CAM -- but not a snowball's chance at DCAM.

Still... it's a very nice coin.

You're right DanC - it's a nice coin......... and will always be a "nice" coin as long as it stays in the proof set. As soon as it makes its way into a PCGS slab it'll lose 75% of its value!

As to how I really feel........ well I had to refrain a bit! But take a look at my Kennedy registry set right now

Russ

Whoah, Tim, both your sets are gone! What're you doing?
